Is there anywhere I can get the artwork from the APs (specifically Kingmaker) in an electronic form? WotC once, many moons ago, had tons of their artwork up for grabs from most of their 3E library. I mainly want it to print out for index cards I can photocopy the stuff but I was hoping for something easier that I can print out at home.
For previous adventure paths, the only way is to buy the PDF unless you can find the specific artwork you want in a Paizo blog or something.

I agree completely. best way to get great artwork AND a great adventure.
I used to love the old Art of Dragon books. Art of Pathfinder would be a definate buy for me
just saying is all
While not nearly as convenient as a gallery like the ones Wizards of the Coast had, you could check out the artists' websites or DeviantArt pages. Many of them post their Pathfinder artwork there.
Well, I like the artwork, and I have the pdf files, but it would be convenient to have the isolated images if I want to upload them online, for example.

Online? That's a rather blatant abuse of copyright, you realize.
I like the artwork for my personal use; I create a lot of custom creatures, and like being able to use the original artwork for, say, an advanced adamintine golem or a denizen of Leng.
Yup; uploading art from our PDFs to places online is illegal. We'd rather you didn't do this, and we'd rather you didn't even talk about it on these boards.
So there is no chance to see something like the old art galleries on WotC? That's a darn shame.
It was not my intention to upload anything anywhere just so it's clear. I just wanted some of the art in a slightly more convenient format as I don't have access to the pdfs (I buy my APs through my FLGS).
WotC still does it, but only for those with a D&D Insider account; Every individual art and map from Dungeon and Dragon into zip files for you download.
Which... is surprisingly un-draconian of them.
Their super old files are still there too, but you have to find links from off site.

I agree in that there SHOULD be a better resource of images, handouts and pictures for Pathfinder.
The modules are superb, as is just about everything else - but one has to remember that roleplaying games use a vast amount of imagination, and sparking that with great images so the players can, as a group, readily 'visualise' where there characters are is ESSENTIAL I would think...
Remember the 'good old days' of 1st Edition D&D modules with the handout booklets and pages, featuring A5 or A4 piccys from artists like Erol Otus? These would serve to really offer everyone a great visual clue as to what beastie they facing, NPCs, room layouts, landscapes etc.
Now here comes the rub... To create images takes the usual 'scarce' resources of time and money, and so rather than put them in the modules (which really spreads out the page count adding costs), I would propose that they become a DOWNLOADABLE pdf, say $1.99, for those DMs who wish to include them in their games. Paizo saves money on printing and distribution, but DMs get this extra resource if they want it - everyone is happy!
Into that, I would also suggest downloadable pdfs of squared floorplans for use with encounters and miniatures - same downloadable deal...
As a DM I would be happy to pay extra for these, and it would plug a big gap in making the Adventure Paths and other modules REALLY fantastic...
What do people think?

James Jacobs on why they can't make battle-mat sized maps for use with minis, even in PDF Certainly not for $1.99, anyway. :)
Iirc, the art is actually the most expensive part of the books, whether it goes through the physical printing process or not.
That'd be here
